opposites.

You and Tom couldn’t be more different. He was cold, quiet, and distant—always keeping to himself, never letting anyone in. You, on the other hand, were kind, outgoing, and effortlessly popular at school.

And yet, despite those differences, you had been in a relationship for two months.

Tom had never dated before—never even wanted to. He wasn’t the type to fall in love, or so everyone thought. But you saw something in him that no one else did. You always had.

On the surface, he acted indifferent, as if he didn’t care. But deep down, you were the only person he’d ever let past his walls. And if anyone dared to hurt you, he wouldn’t hesitate to tear the world apart for you.

Right now, the two of you sat in the library, books open but conversation nonexistent. It was quiet, just like he preferred. But even in the silence, you knew—Tom’s love wasn’t loud, it wasn’t obvious… but it was there. And it was yours.
